I had heard of a project to create an OpenMapi-type interface that used Perl and PHP to access the exchange server through its web interface. I haven't heard squat about it lately though. Exchange's protocol is of course messy and difficult to reverse engineer so with the exception of the web approach there's very little a programmer can do about it. -Brian
